A United Front - Luffy's Breakthrough to the Victory

On the palace rooftop, Bellamy presses Doflamingo over whether he truly dispatched Dellinger to kill him. Doflamingo laughs and tells him their goals never aligned: Bellamy was satisfied as an ordinary pirate, while his own ambition had always been the destruction of the world, an answer that visibly horrifies his former underling. Far below, the gladiators surge toward the castle, but this round the executives commit fully to the brawl. Singling out Suleiman, Dellinger surrounds him with phantom images before ramming his horns home. With Suleiman down, the surviving warriors swing their focus onto the rest of the officers.

Paying the officers no heed, Chinjao has climbed his way up to the palace's third floor, until Gladius bursts the wall apart and drops him. An unwary Boo is then flattened under a ten-ton Machvise, while Orlumbus and Dagama are set upon by Lao G alongside Baby 5 as the Dressrosa soldiers cheer the turnabout. In the village's south, citizens bind a Parasite-controlled man who weeps in apology for the horrors forced on him, and fresh word of the hideout sheltering King Riku and their god Usopp sends them arming up to seize the pair, using their controlled captives as bait.

Inside the SMILE factory, the dwarf slaves are set to mopping a spilled SAD canister while their handlers harp on Princess Mansherry's supposed illness to pull their eyes off the chaos outside. Pink bees then spell a message across their cage from Bian, Inhel, and Wicca, exposing the lie and at last commanding them to fight; trusting friends who would never deceive them, the dwarves turn on their captors. Elsewhere, Cavendish, Luffy, Law, and an unseen Kyros ride Farul toward the officers. Kyros makes himself known, vexing Cavendish and thrilling Luffy, then learns his daughter Rebecca is behind enemy lines before naming his single aim: killing Diamante, the man who murdered his wife Scarlett. The distraction lands them in the thick of the gladiator-versus-Donquixote melee, where Luffy's arrival snaps the fighters into order as they agree to hold the officers and open his path.

The episode belongs to the Dressrosa Arc, with Gladius debuting Jirai Punc and Baby 5 debuting Revolver Leg. The adaptation adds Suleiman reading Dellinger as a kick specialist, Chinjao shrugging off thrown spears, a look at how the citizens tracked Riku and Usopp down, and Kin'emon hunting for Kanjuro until snoring lures him away. The gladiator brawl gains extra exchanges, among them Sai rescuing Boo, Dellinger kicking Blue Gilly, repeated Mine Pop strikes from Gladius, and Elizabello II halting Baby 5's Revolver Girl with a light King Punch.
